Dietary acid load and acid-base balance in exercise and health from adolescence to late adulthood
2018
This thesis investigated whether dietary acid load has either short-term (4 to 7 days) or prolonged (12 weeks) effects on acid-base status at rest and during submaximal and maximal aerobic exercise; whether the effects of dietary acid load on acid-base status differ between adolescents, young adults and the elderly, and between men and women; and whether the changes in acid-base balance have a further effect on aerobic exercise performance. These questions were addressed in three different study settings in healthy and recreationally active men and women. In studies 1 and 2, which followed a crossover study design, participants were assigned in randomized order to follow a diet with a low o…
Miten lihas kasvaa?
2018
Lihakset aistivat kuormitusta ja muokkautuvat rasitukseen. Perimä ja se miten geenimme ilmentyvät vaikuttavat merkittävästi lihaskokoon. Lihassolumme pystyvät kuitenkin mukautumaan kulloisiinkin olosuhteisiin, kuten ravitsemustilaan ja fyysiseen aktiivisuuden tasoon. nonPeerReviewed
Dynamic Force Production Capacities Between Coronary Artery Disease Patients vs. Healthy Participants on a Cycle Ergometer
2020
Background: The force-velocity-power (FVP) profile is used to describe dynamic force production capacities, which is of great interest in training high performance athletes. However, FVP may serve a new additional tool for cardiac rehabilitation (CR) of coronary artery disease (CAD) patients. The aim of this study was to compare the FVP profile between two populations: CAD patients vs. healthy participants (HP). Methods: Twenty-four CAD patients (55.8 ± 7.1 y) and 24 HP (52.4 ± 14.8 y) performed two sprints of 8 s on a Monark cycle ergometer with a resistance corresponding to 0.4 N/kg × body mass for men and 0.3 N/kg × body mass for women. The theoretical maximal force (F 0) and velocity (V…
